New Zealand PM eyes independence from Britain ahead of coronation trip

New Zealand Prime Minister Chris Hipkins will meet British leader Rishi Sunak, ahead of the coronation of King Charles III this weekend, to fast-forward the two countries’ February 2022 Free Trade Agreement. – AFP pic, May 2, 2023.

Ideally, in time, New Zealand will become a fully independent country, and will stand on its own two feet in the world, as we by and large do now, said Hipkins who is the leader of the ruling New Zealand Labour Party. Hipkins said a shift to a republic is something for New Zealanders to instigate a discussion on, adding that there is not a groundswell of support for the move at the moment.

Estimates put the boost the deal with Britain would provide to New Zealand’s goods exports at 50%, together with a surge in GDP of US$617 million a year, while slashing tariffs by US$23 million.
